The Kudela lab has undertaken a number of science outreach projects reflecting the research taking place in the lab. It is important to us that exciting advances in science, and the new technologies we experiment with, are shared with the rest of the oceanographic community and the greater public. The lab also collaborates with many other groups and organizations to develop educational tools and materials.
